I remember when Auburn's RBs were looked at as a three-headed monster of Cadillac-Jacobs-Brown, before Jacobs transferred. He's fucking enormous.
I'm obviously not as sold on Dallas as a few other members of this forum, but that's mostly due to a QB and WR corps made entirely of major disappointments (Bledsoe, Keyshawn, Peerless, Glenn). Julius Jones and Jason Witten look like really good players though, and there is some talent on the defense -- I don't remember them playing well last year though.
Buffalo's defense is awesome, but it's looking more and more like the management in Houston have royally fucked up by refusing to covet offensive lineman, in both free agency and the draft. Without any protection or means to display his talents, David Carr looks like he's destined for a backup job somewhere else at the end of his contract. I really like the guy too, which sucks. I want him to get a fair chance.
As far as Green Bay goes, I've known all offseason that they're hopeless without a real defense. I loved the addition of Jim Bates at DC, and they actually limited what should be a good Detroit offense, but there is barely any talent on that defense whatsoever. Add how bad the offense looked -- as well as the Walker injury -- and I might have to find another team to temporarily root for this season.
